Jim Poole?

I think Thom Darden is the interception leader.
Side note on Darden- His picture used to be posted in every Rest Area in Ohio as he was wanted for non-payment of child support.

Time has expired on the wrestling question. The answer is Perry Saturn (Satullo). 

Today’s questions: 

- What Indians reliever surrendered the only run scored in game Six of the 1995 World Series?

- Who is the Browns all-time leader in defensive interceptions?

Erik Plunk

Thom Darden (one of my favorite DBs as a kid)

I remember in that game six that Hargrove let Poole bat.  I’m like.....what?

Our old pal David Justice hit the home run that turned out to be the game winner.  

The Tribe only had one hit.  Anybody remember who got it?

It was low in order. Thome or Pena is my guess. Unless it was a PH, which would’ve been...Sorrento??

1995 is about the very Fringe of my memories. I was 9 at the time. 1997 I remember like the back of my hand, unfortunately.

Prior to the 1995 Division Series against the BoSox, the Indians had not won a post season game since the '48 World Series.


Cleveland beat Boston 5-4 in Game 1 of the '95 series.....WHO was the winning pitcher?

I believe this was the game that Tony Pena won with a homer.  So the answer is a reliever, most likely. I’m going with Assenmacher as my first guess.

Pena did hit that game winner! Good job there.

A different reliever was the winning pitcher.

I gave up and looked it up.  

Interesting.

I remember him being a really good pickup for the Tribe.

Yea, I think the Tribe had him for about half the season, he started a bunch of games.

Some questions for February 1:

- What team did the Browns defeat in the final game played at Cleveland Municipal Stadium?

- Against what team did the “new” Browns earn their first regular season win in their 1999 return to the NFL?

First win was vs New Orleans. And I’ll never forget it. Hail Mary to Kevin Johnson!
